,
Bandwidth during display period = MIN (bandwidth during non display period, B/C/D)
where B = number of MCLKs left available for CPU access after every 16 pixels drawn
= (f(MCLK)/f(PCLK) * 16 - Total MCLK for Display refresh), units in MCLKs 16 pixels
where C = number of MCLKs required to service 1 CPU access (2 bytes of data)
= 4, units in MCLKs/2 bytes
where D = time to draw 16 pixels
= 16 / f(PCLK), units in 16 pixels
The minimum function limits the bandwidth to the bandwidth available during non display period
should the display fetches constitute a small percentage of the overall memory activity.
For 16 bpp single panel/CRT/dual panel with half frame buffer disable, the number of MCLKs
required to fetch 16 pixels when PCLK = MCLK exceeds 16. In this case, the display fetch does not
allow any CPU access during the display period. CPU access can only be achieved during non
display periods.
Average Bandwidth
All displays have a horizontal non display period, and a vertical non display period. The formula for
calculating the percentage of non display period is as follows
Percentage of non display period = (HTOT * VTOT - WIDTH * HEIGHT)/(HTOT * VTOT)
Percentage of non display period for CRT = (800*525 - 640*480)/(800*525) = 26.6%
Percentage of non display period for single panel = (680*482 - 640*480)/680*482) = 6.2%
Percentage of non display period for dual panel = (680*242 - 640*240)/680*242) = 6.6%
Average Bandwidth =
Percentage of non display period * Bandwidth during non display period +
(1- Percentage of non display period) * Bandwidth during display period
